Four Men Arrested for Gang Rape

For men have been accused of gang raping a 13-year-old girl at a party
in the city of Orange.

Mario Santibanez, 22, Diego Ramierez, 19, Daniel Ramirez, 23, and Gustavo
Gomes, 18, appeared in court for an arraignment on the rape charges. All
three men had their arraignment postponed until April 13, 2009.

According to the Orange County District Attorney’s office, the victim
and her 14-year-old friend were drunk when they went to a party at Ramirez’s
house. The girls continued to drink at the house when the defendants allegedly
took turns raping the victim, who prosecutors say was too drunk to fight them off.

The victim told her mother about the incident and was brought to the Orange
Police Department to make a statement. All four men are charged with one
felony count of PC 264.1, forcible rape in concert, PC 261(a)(3), rape
by intoxication, PC 288a(d), oral copulation in concert with force and
fear, PC 288a(i) oral copulation by intoxication, and PC 288a lewd act
upon a child under 14.

If convicted, the defendants each face a maximum sentence of 35 years in
state prison. They are being held on bail of $200,000 each.
